85. Doing the Right Thing Until It Works

February 17
11 mins

Episode Description

In this episode, host John Haskell speaks to people navigating slow starts, tight margins, and the frustration that comes when progress is not immediately visible. He explains why doing the right things often feels unrewarding early on, even when those decisions are setting the foundation for long-term success.

John emphasizes the importance of having a clear plan, measuring progress along the way, and staying disciplined long enough to build momentum. Drawing on lessons from Bud Williams, he reminds listeners that success rarely comes from quick fixes, but from consistently doing the right thing until it works and knowing when persistence is required versus when a strategy truly needs to change.
